Subject: Letter of Completeness and Request of Additional Information
Hitchens Residence — Shoreline Variance Application
Application No. PLN20180071
Dear Mr. Kearsley,
On behalf of the City of Edmonds Planning Division, I have reviewed the shoreline variance application
for the Hitchens new single family residence at 174901 Vista Del Mar Drive for completeness pursuant
to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 20.02.002 and 24.80.070. The City has determined
that the applications meets the procedural submission requirements and therefore is complete. Please
accept this letter as the City's notice to applicant of determination of completeness pursuant to ECDC
20.02.003. While the applications are procedurally complete, additional information and clarifications
are needed for continued review of the project. Please respond to the following so review of this
application can proceed:
Vegetation Plan: In the criteria statement submitted with the application, it is noted that new
native -species erosion control plants will be planted along the entire edge of the slope to stabilize
soils. The December 20, 2019 NGA geotechnical report notes that future vegetation management
on the slope should be the subject of a specific evaluation and plan approved by the City of
Edmonds. No vegetation management or landscape plan was submitted with the application. Given
that the vegetation plan is noted as a way the project complies with the variance criteria and the
geotechnical recommendation that vegetation management be reviewed by the City, please submit
a vegetation management/landscape for review with the shoreline variance application.
According to ECDC 20.02.003.13, the above requested information must be submitted within 90 days (or
by April 24, 2019) or the application will expire.
Since the application has been determined -to be complete, a notice of application will be posted on the
subject property and mailed to adjacent property owners within the next two weeks consistent with
ECDC 20.03.002.
If you have any questions of me, please contact me at 425-771-0220 or via email at
